Apple Shares New 'Dark Universe' Experimental Video Shot on iPhone 12 Pro

Apple today shared a new video on its YouTube channel that features footage shot on the iPhone 12 Pro.

Apple says the two-minute video pushes the iPhone 12 Pro's new Dolby Vision and low-light capabilities to the limit as an attempt to "capture darkness itself."


The video is also accompanied by a behind the scenes look at how it was made.

Stopped watching after 5 seconds when I realized it's portrait mode, not landscape. As an old guy, I can't understand the appeal of vertical recordings over a nice widescreen you can show on a larger screen.......

Speaking for even OLDER folks, I just can’t understand all the hubbub about color, it distracts WAY too much.

Speaking for even older OLDER folks, when there’s audio in the moving pictures, you can’t hear the piano man.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like abstract videos like this are sort of meh. Why not go out in the middle of nowhere like Denali National Park or Death Valley? Any good footage one could capture there would have beat this abstract studio stuff.
